Connecting Peripherals
A maximum of four devices can be attached to an M204 at the same time; two on the
parallel ports and two on the serial ports.
Parallel Port Connections (PRN1, PRN2)
Two 25-pin female DB-25S connectors with an IBM PC compatible pinout are pro-
vided on the rear panel for connection to a printer using a parallel port. These ports
can be configured with various parameters depending on the attached printer. These
parameters include:
• ackmode for printers (usually non-laser printers) that use the ACK signal for the
trigger of next data transfer rather than the BUSY signal,
